“It’s a war zone, my body, and one which has been through a great deal.”

I just lead my life as naturally, as normally as I possibly can. But I can’t help it if controversy is hounding me day in and day out. I’m quite amazed sometimes by the way they go about it. I grow a beard and it lands up in the editorial in The Times of India.

Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.

Indian actors, because of the format of our stories, need to be good actors, and be able to perform emotional sequences, do a bit of comedy, dance and singing, action, because all of this forms just one film. In many ways I’d say there are greater demands on Indian actors than there are on Hollywood.

If music be the food of love play on give me excess of it.

Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.

We had forgotten the art of using silence to convey emotions in our films and that’s what you seem to have mastered. You’ve used silence to great advantage in the film. It’s brilliant.

And music the best friend of your mind.

I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.

If music be the food of love play on give me excess of it.

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.

I am not as intelligent as Aamir Khan . I am barely managing to be in front of the camera. There are many people who know marketing well and surely Aamir knows much more than I do.

The world is no more what it was in the times of quiet love… Everything is called Status nowadays and it goes on the internet like a rule.

Frankly I’ve never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an ‘icon’, ‘superstar’, etc. I’ve always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.

Riding a Harley is a world of its own.

I don’t use any techniques; I’m not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films.

It’s nothing really. It’s the unique presentation that makes me look good in the action scenes. Why did I dare do them? That’s a funny question! Why do I act? Why do I breathe!

Love yourself as you are, and take care of your body. Your body is the temple of your soul.

I don’t need the best hairstyle or the best body. Just give me a ball at my feet and I’ll show you what I can do.

Self-love is the best medicine for mind, body, and peace.

Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.

I mostly just listen to my body.

You’re the shadow of my body and shadow never leaves, no matter how strong the storms are.

Take care of your body because it’s always trying to take care of you.

We are all just infinities, bounded by our bodies, trying to find forever in a numbered days.
